Legion Post 27
Green is the color of hope, renewal and well being. "Greenlight" is also a term commonly used to activate forward movement. The simple action of changing one light to green is intended to spark a national conversation regarding the recognition of veterans and "Greenlight" them forward as valued members of our communities.
The Greenlight a Vet campaign urges Americans to change one light to green in a visible location on the porch, inside the home or at the office and keep it glowing every day as a symbol of appreciation and support for veterans. Participants are encouraged to share their support and take a picture of their green lights and posting them to social media sites using the hashtag #greenlightavet.
